Pity we more amply supplied countries couldn't have helped them to build stronger homes and schools, etc. before an earthquake struck. Seems we only turn up after a major disaster when it's too late.
Of course, it may be that advice was offered but ignored.
Brown is sending money. Wouldn't it be better to send supplies to the value of that money. I wonder if the Presidential Palace will be rebuilt first, using said money. The EU can make itself useful, for a change, and jointly send unemployed builders, plus material and equipment, to construct a city more able to stand against any future natural disaster.
I know I'm being rather idealistic.
